Volumetric Fog Atmospheric effect that makes haze visible when hit by light.
Foliage LOD Quality Simple multiplier for instanced mesh LOD switching. Epic setting can impact GPU Performance with low/mid-range configurations.
Car LOD Quality Adjust car model level of detail - lower values make cars appear less detailed in the distance at the benefit of higher framerates.
HLOD Enable or disable HLOD's. HLOD is a hierarchical level of detail function that combines complex track objects into simplified objects at greater distance. Enabling them increases performance by lowering the number of draw calls per frame.
Advanced Sharpen Filter An additional post-processing Filter that improves clarity for details further away from the playing position. It is highly suggested to Enable Advanced Sharpen Filter only if Sharpen setting in the Basic tab is unchanged.

Force Feedback - FFB

Settings Description Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Config\
File Line
Gain FFB strength. Use whatever is comfortable, just not so high you get FFB clipping. / 0% to 100%
Minimum Force Only for steering wheels that have a force feedback deadzone in the center. Most notably the Logitech G25-27-29, need around 7% to 12% minimum force. Maybe some Thrustmasters need a tiny bit too, but that only affects the center dead zone of force. [1] / 0% to 15%
Dynamic Damping Models real gyroscopic forces from the wheels. It makes the steering wheel more "unwilling" to move from whatever angle the front wheels point, and the faster you go the stronger it gets. 100% is the intended realistic value, but might on some steering wheels saturate the signal and cause a very flat FFB feeling (clipping).[2] / 0% to 200%
Road Effects An artificial effect to simulate forces that are felt mostly through the body rather than through the steering wheel in a real car. Can make subtler "real" effects harder to detect if set too high. For pure FFB, you can leave it at 0. [3] [4] / 0% to 100%
Frequency How fast should the query of the FFB information be made or processed. / 111Hz / 222Hz / 333Hz
  • CAUTION: For old racing steering wheels, example G25 / G27, leave the value at 111Hz

Gearbox GT3 racing cars use sequential gearboxes that change gears in a sequence without using a manual clutch. Automatic mode changes gears automatically except for reverse and neutral. Automatic mode affects your realism score. assists.json autoGear
Clutch Automatic clutch mode operates the clutch automatically when the car is stopped or starts from a standstill. By doing so, it protects the engine from stalling. It changes to automatic mode if engine start is also set to automatic. Manual clutch settings will let you operate the clutch manually during start or when the car is stopped with a gear engaged. Failing to operate the clutch correctly will result in the car stalling. assists.json autoClutch
Engine Start Automatic engine start means the engine will start automatically even when you spin or stop with a gear engaged. If the engine stalls, it will start again automatically. When it is selected, the clutch will also be set to automatic mode. Manual engine start requires you to set up inputs to control the ignition and engine starter. If the engine stalls while driving, you will need to restart it by pressing the key or button configured in the controller settings. assists.json autoEngineSwitch
Wipers Toggle automatic or manual wipers. The automatic wiper function will automatically enable the wiper and set the appropriate wiper speed according to the weather conditions.i It also sense water spray kicked up by opponent cars in front of the player. assists.json autoWiper
Lights Toggle automatic or manual lights. Using automatic lights will automatically turn on the appropriate light stage according to the time of day and weather conditions. assists.json autoLights
Pit Limiter Toggle automatic or manual pit limiter. The automatic pit limiter will engage the pit limiter when crossing the pitlane entry line. However, the automatic pit limiter does not function as automatic brake, the car still needs to be slowed down to the pit speed limit before entering the pitlane. Also you need to be in first Gear. When you shift up it will automatically turn off the Limiter. assists.json autoPitLimiter
Stability Control Stability control allows more stable cornering and makes it harder to spin. The higher percentage is set, the more stable the car will be, and thus, easer to drive. The use of stability control is prohibited in blancpain regulations, so this setting is to be considered an additional gameplay assist and not a realistic option. Enabling any percentage of stability control affects your realism score. assists.json
  • stabilityControlLevelMin
  • stabilityControlLevelMax
Ideal Line Enabling the Ideal line draws a graphical line on the circuit that is visible during driving. The line shows the optimum racing line to follow. The line will change colours if you need to brake before a curve or accelerate out of a curve. Enabling the Ideal line affects your realism score. assists.json showIdealLine
